FinDEVrNewYork 2017 / Softjourn

Presenter Profile:

Softjourn is a technology services provider operating since 2001, with 150+ employees, two R&D centers, one in Ukraine and one in Poland, and headquarters in California, U.S. The product that Softjourn will demonstrate, SJ Coins, we see growing into a platform to be used by employers who want to give their employees the opportunity to participate more frequently in CSR projects, to vote for and feel ownership in the projects being supported. This could be donor-based organizations, such as NGOs, whose members will have transparent access to information about who is donating funds. Since blockchain has very practical implications for the nuts and bolts of payment solutions, Softjourn intends to be part of the future of this currency and to apply it where it can do good.

Presentation

Engaging in Social Responsibility through Blockchain

The presentation will highlight the main reasons Softjourn decided to implement an in-house loyalty program and why we chose Eris (Monax) blockchain cryptocurrency over other platforms. We will look at the combination of hardware, blockchain, and smart contracts, and how these actually work together in our project. We will close with a look at what’s next for this project, using SJ Coins to help fund local projects in our city.
